Bullying in high school: Inappropriate photos were taken and shared

High school students in the US state of New Hampshire are at risk of disciplinary action for allegedly taking inappropriate photographs of a girl who was their classmate, turning them into “trading cards” and giving the images “grades.”

Bedford High School Principal Bob Jozokos said in an email to parents last week that a group of ninth and 10th grade students at the school unknowingly took photos of 11th and 12th grade girls and distributed them without your permission.

In an email sent by a parent to the New Hampshire union leader, Jozokos called the behavior “regrettable” and met with the parents of the students involved to warn them that their children could possibly be suspended.

“This is absolutely inappropriate behavior,” Jozokos said. gram“I want it to be known that I take this sexual abuse of young children very seriously and that it has no place in our society.” saying.

35 STUDENTS ARE SUSPECTS

The students (mostly boys) who engaged in the disruptive behavior created both physical and digital cards featuring the senior girls’ breasts, buttocks and names, NBC10 Boston reported.

The abusive students printed out pictures of girls and taped them onto Pokémon cards.

“They were trying to grade them,” one student told NBC10 Boston. “Give a score from 0 to 10 and rate them only as ‘bad’ or ‘not bad.'” they said. saying.

It was learned that male students exchanged images of the victims, whose photographs they took without their knowledge, pasting them on Pokémon cards.

THEY DON’T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL

Stating that the students were largely unaware of this incident, the student shared that her friend in a card was very angry and embarrassed.

A mother says her daughter now wants to go to school “We’re thinking maybe we can move my daughter somewhere else because if she’s not safe at school, where should she be safe?” she added.

While school administrators were recorded as meeting with 35 students about the incident, a prepared petition stated that these students should not be suspended. There were calls for him to be permanently expelled from school. As of Wednesday, more than 4,300 signatures had been collected, with a goal of 5,000 signatures.
